Hi,
Came across these:

Looks to be kind of AMT’s. Does have anyone have experience with them for home use? They look very promising.
Cheers 😉

To me they seem to be more like the SA compact driver. I haven't any experience with them but if they are at least similar to the SA then they must be good.
I only read a short introduction of these Alcons in a German DIY speaker mag. AFAIK they were quite expensive.

Alcon's audio was started by the chief development engineer from SA Philip de Haan.
I suppose the alcon drivers will be marginally superior to those offered by SA. However i think they are going to be very expensive.
some good ribbons to try are the SA 8526, whis is based on a non neodym magnet system and weights around 10kg's and a shorter ribbon sadly not made by philips anymore called rsq8p the SA equivalent is SA8520. Furthermore I have a feeling that the new ATD DDRT 201 http://www.vittoriofranchi.it/Nastri.htm is also equivalent to the philips. But at 740 euro each they are a bit pricy.
I own a pair of rsq8p's but havent really worked with them yet as
i have SA 8526 in my main system at the moment.
Cheers
